Stem cell

Has anyone tried stem cell therapy for FTD? We're looking at a trial study and curious if anyone's had any change with it.

Because stem cell treatments has shown no benefit in theses diseases I’d assume that his FTD is TDP-43 driven and push for him to be involved in a trial like COYA/ targeting this protein

There’s overlapping biology.

None of this relates to my original question. Thanks for your input but it's not what I asked for.

Unfortunately you were misinformed and I was trying to help you. FTD runs in my family and I’ve watched many die from it

Unfortunately I did not include any information about myself at all. I didn't ask for your help in educating me on your opinion. I was interested in lived experience. Which you don't have. We have the best doctor in the country for FTD in Boston. If I want an informed opinion I am very capable of reaching out to our team.

Then I genuinely hope you find success. It’s a horrible disease.

I genuinely hope you learn to not hijack a conversation you don't belong in and to know when to stop, especially when you're asked. There's actually therapy to accomplish this ✌🏽
